The presence of antennas in cars is quite attention-grabbing, as they can create an interesting and unique impression, one of which is the shark fin. The installation of a shark fin antenna is quite easy, requiring only a screwdriver, bolts, and cables.

How to Install a Shark Fin Antenna on a Car

Here are some steps that can be taken to install this type of antenna that resembles the tip of a shark fin.

Buy a Shark Fin Antenna

The first step before installing this type of antenna on your car is to purchase the product. There are many car antenna products sold in online and offline stores, with prices varying depending on the brand and model chosen.

Prepare a Microfiber Cloth and Screwdriver

Once the product is ready in hand, the next step is to prepare the tools for installation, such as a microfiber cloth, temporary marker, and a (+) screwdriver. These tools can also be easily found in stores.

Remove the Car's Original Antenna

The next step in installing the shark fin is to remove the original antenna from your car before finally installing the shark fin antenna. If the car's original antenna is a fixed antenna, it can be easily removed by turning the antenna stick counterclockwise until it comes off.

However, remember not to remove the antenna base that is attached to the car body, as that part will later be connected to the shark fin antenna.

Measure the Antenna Position

After removing the original antenna, before installing the shark fin antenna, it is advisable to measure the antenna position first. Place the antenna on the car roof, ensuring its position is balanced between the right and left sides for an aesthetically pleasing look.

Once done, clean the roof surface where the antenna will be installed using a microfiber cloth. If the antenna position is correct and suitable, mark it by drawing a line following the contour of the shark fin antenna using a temporary marker and attach double tape to the antenna surface.

Make sure the line is clearly visible, as it will help you as a reference for installing the antenna.

Install the Antenna 

The next step is to connect the cable between the part of the original car antenna that is still installed and the shark fin antenna. Generally, when purchasing a shark fin antenna package, additional bolts and cable sockets are included. 

This cable will later be connected to the part that attaches to the car antenna. The way to do this is by screwing it in with a screwdriver until it is tight; after installation, try turning on the car's head unit and ensure the radio frequency is still captured.

Attach the Antenna

Remove the protective layer of the double tape on the surface of the shark fin antenna, then stick it to the car and ensure the antenna position matches the mark you made earlier with the temporary marker. 

Clean the Temporary Marker Stains

Once the antenna is perfectly installed, the last step is to clean the temporary marker stains that were previously used as marks with a cloth or tissue. 

How Much Does a Shark Fin Antenna Cost?

If you are buying this type of car antenna for the first time, you may be wondering how much it costs. You can find this type of antenna in car accessory stores, both online and offline, at various prices depending on the brand and model.

However, generally, shark fin antennas are priced affordably starting from around Rp30,000 to Rp100,000. If buying offline, ask the seller about the quality of the antenna. 

Advantages of Shark Fin Antennas

This type of antenna can give a more stylish and sporty impression to the car. In addition, its function is not only as an aesthetic enhancement but also can capture signals such as radio signals, GPS, and cellular data.

What do you think? Installing a shark fin antenna on a car is very easy to do, right? Good luck!
